Life-changing journey

I have something to ask for

When a person dies, he should not be idle for three days, and he should not be relieved for three months. He should be sad for three years, and he should be worried for three years - this is the killing of grace. The sage uses killing to control moderation, and this is why mourning lasts for three years. The wise should not go beyond the limit, and the unworthy should not fail to reach the limit. This is the mean of mourning, and it is what the king always does. The Book of Documents says: "Emperor Gaozong was lenient and did not speak for three years." This is good; all kings should follow this ritual. Why is it good for him alone? It is said: Emperor Gaozong was Wu Ding; Wu Ding was a wise king of the Yin Dynasty. He succeeded the throne and was kind and good at mourning. At this time, the Yin Dynasty declined and revived, and rituals were abolished and revived, so he did it well. Because it was good, it was recorded in the book and praised, so he was called Emperor Gaozong. During the three-year mourning, the king did not speak. The Book of Documents says: "Emperor Gaozong was lenient and did not speak for three years." This is what it means. However, those who say "speaking without culture" refer to the ministers.

Goblin Hunter

After Su Zigao's incident was settled, Lords Wang and Yu wanted to appoint Kong Tingwei as the governor of Danyang. After the chaos, the people were in poverty. Kong said with a sigh, "When Emperor Suzong was dying, you all personally ascended the imperial bed and were recognized by him, and followed his will. I am a distant and lowly person, and I am not among those who were there to take charge of the affairs of the state. When times were tough, you put me first. Now I am just rotten meat on the table, waiting to be chopped up by anyone!" Then he left, and the other gentlemen also stopped.

Moon in the Clouds and Flowers in the Mist

Before the Duke of Haixi was deposed, Wang Yuanlin asked Huan Yuanzi, "Ji Zi and Bi Gan have different deeds but the same heart. I wonder who is right and who is wrong, you sir?" He replied, "The reputation of benevolence is the same. I would rather be like Guan Zhong."

Feng Xi Tian Xia

Wang Dongting and Zhang Guanjun are good friends. After the king established Wu County, someone asked Xiaoling, "What are the customs and politics like when Dongting became a county?" He replied, "I don't know how the governance is, but my friendship with Zhang Zuxi is growing stronger day by day."

The remaining disaster

When General Yu was in Wuchang, it was a beautiful autumn night with clear scenery, so he asked his officials Yin Hao and Wang Huzhi to go up to the South Tower to sort out poems. The tone began to become powerful, and I heard the loud sound of clogs in the passage. It must be Yu Gong. Soon he came on foot with about ten men around him, and the wise men wanted to get up and avoid him. Gong Xu said, "Please stay a little longer, everyone. I am very interested in this place!" Then he sat on a Hu couch and chanted and joked with them, and they were very happy. Later, Wang Yi Shao came down and talked about this matter with the prime minister. The prime minister said: "Yuan Gui's style at that time must have declined a little." Youjun replied: "Only the hills and valleys remain."
